Great, practical concepts and an easy read.

I'm totally new to photography. This book provides some very good, practical advice, especially for beginning photographers. It's not an extensive how to book, but it gives you some good info how to achieve certain shots. Definitely recommend it to anyone starting out in photography. It's not a techy kind of book.


Great book!

- Gives you practical advices
- Written with humor
- Talks to both Canon and Nikon users (Including the instructions given in text \ images)
- Assumes you know nothing, great for beginners

The reason I didn't choose the 5 stars rank is because I'm one of those guys who looks for the theory behind
the practical advices, and I think you won't find too much of that in this book..
(Scott Kelby: "This isn't a book of theory - full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts.")

In my opinion, the overall is good, I enjoyed reading it.

Great tips for amateur photographers

Quick tips, not so much theory as many other photography books, makes you feel by reading "The digital photography book" as if you were attending a seminar; where what students are looking forward to hearing is "how this shot was taken" or "what to do" in a certain situation.

I admit I didn't appreaciate much Scott Kelby's sense of humour but this book gave me a push to take much better photos as an amateur photographer.

Have already read the 2nd volume and looking forward to starting the 3rd one.


Scott Kelby, the man who changed the "digital darkroom" forever with his groundbreaking, #1 bestselling, award-winning book The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, now tackles the most important side of digital photography--how to take pro-quality shots using the same tricks today's top digital pros use (and it's easier than you'd think).

This entire book is written with a brilliant premise, and here?s how Scott describes it: "If you and I were out on a shoot, and you asked me, 'Hey, how do I get this flower to be in focus, but I want the background out of focus?' I wouldn't stand there and give you a lecture about aperture, exposure, and depth of field. In real life, I'd just say, 'Get out your telephoto lens, set your f/stop to f/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire away.' You d say, 'OK,' and you'd get the shot. That's what this book is all about. A book of you and I shooting, and I answer the questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I've learned just like I would with a friend, without all the technical explanations and without all the techno-photo-speak."

This isn't a book of theory?it isn't full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts: this is a book of which button to push, which setting to use, when to use them, and nearly two hundred of the most closely guarded photographic "tricks of the trade" to get you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos with your digital camera every time you press the shutter button.

Here's another thing that makes this book different: each page covers just one trick, just one single concept that makes your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you'll learn another pro setting, another pro tool, another pro trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. There's never been a book like it, and if you're tired of taking shots that look "OK," and if you?re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, "Why don't my shots look like that?" then this is the book for you.
